Senior VP of Exploration and Business Development Peter Drobeck stated, “The surface geology and drilling program at El Cubo is now up and running and has already reported some very encouraging gold-silver mineralization in the Dolores vein system. The core veins indicate a significant extension of the Dolores Vein to the southeast, which will significantly expand the resource base of the new discovery. We are particularly encouraged with the good near-surface widths of mineralization surrounding the core vein, some of which are comparable to deposits being mined in our western open pit in Ocampo.”
